Book 13: It's been a long time since I've read something that made me cry like John Green's The Fault in Our Stars, and now I'm not sure I even want to see the movie. The last book that made me not want to watch the movie was Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper. I still haven't seen the movie, I was that mad at Picoult and the ending of My Sister's Keeper. I'm not mad at TFIOS. It makes me sad, makes me think, makes feel grateful for what I have. I'll probably see the movie at some point. TFIOS is the story of Hazel Lancaster and Augustus Waters, who meet at a support group for teens living with cancer. Their friendship and love grows through the complications of their illnesses. It was a smart, witty, and perfectly paced book, and unlike other YA (Young Adult) books that I've read, the characters and plot are realistic and relatable. I was truly surprised by the turn in the middle of the book. I'm not into giving away spoilers like some people (aka my husband), so I'm not going to say much about this book other than that I enjoyed it--all the humor and the poignant moments.
17 more books to read. I am half-way through a few, but I would have to finish a new book every 3 days to complete my challenge. I can totally do it!
